The introgression of exotic germplasm into elite materials in the United States has successfully improved seed oil and protein content of maize. However, seed quality of these improved lines has not been evaluated. The objectives of the study were to i) characterize the inbred lines for seed quality, ii) assess the effect of oil and protein content on seed quality and iii) determine effect of genetic background and production location has an influence on seed quality. The inbred lines used in the study were developed by crossing elite lines of stiff stock and non-stiff stalk heterotic background with St. Croix and Argentina germplasm. They were grown in four locations of the US Corn Belt. Seed quality was measured by standard germination test and a series of vigor tests (AA, EC and cold test) and the soak test. Means for the measured parameters were calculated and compared within and among locations. An inbred quality index (IQI) was
